12.Loan Charges Savings Clause.
Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the sum of the Interest Rate and any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with the Mortgage Loan and any other fees or amounts to be paid by Borrower pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents.  Neither this Note, the Loan Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate greater than the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged under applicable law.  It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with all applicable laws governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents.  If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower is interpreted so that any interest or other charge or amount provided for in any Loan Document, whether considered separately or together with other charges or amounts provided for in any other Loan Document, or otherwise charged, taken, reserved or received in connection with the Mortgage Loan, or on acceleration of the maturity of the Mortgage Loan or as a result of any prepayment by Borrower or otherwise, violates that law, and Borrower is entitled to the benefit of that law, that interest or charge is hereby reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate any such violation.  Amounts, if any, previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan without the payment of any prepayment premium (or, if the Mortgage Loan has been or would thereby be paid in full, shall be refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible under the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with any applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise payable under the Loan Documents.  For the purpose of determining whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other charges permitted to be collected from Borrower has been violated, all Indebtedness that constitutes interest, as well as all other charges made in connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, and any amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Mortgage Loan.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such allocation and spreading shall be effected in such a manner that the rate of interest so computed is uniform throughout the stated term of the Mortgage Loan.
13.WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER (A) AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS LENDER AND BORROWER THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.  THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL.
14.Receipt of Loan Documents.
Borrower acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of the Loan Documents.

15.Incorporation of Schedules.
The schedules, if any, attached to this Note are incorporated fully into this Note by this reference and each constitutes a substantive part of this Note.
16.    Defined Terms.
(a)    As used hereunder, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all Charges (as defined below) made in connection with the transaction evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents.
(b)    As used hereunder, the term “Charges” shall mean all fees, charges and/or any other things of value, if any, contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in connection with the transactions relating to this Note and the other Loan Documents, which are treated as interest under applicable law.
17.    Procedural Obligations of Borrower.
(a)    In addition to the provisions of Section 12 above, Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against this Note and/or the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender.  All calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by this Note and/or any other Loan Documents, that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading, using the actuarial method, all interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender throughout the full term of this Note and/or any other Loan Documents (including any and all renewal and extension periods).
(b)    In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to this Note and/or any Indebtedness.

(c)    Not later than the sixty-first (61st) day before the date Borrower files suit seeking penalties for Lender’s violation of the usury law (or not later than the time of Borrower filing a counterclaim in an original action by Lender), Borrower is required to give Lender written notice stating in reasonable detail the nature and amount of the violation.  Lender is then entitled to correct such violation within the sixty (60) day period beginning with the date such notice is received.  If the usury violation is raised on a counterclaim, Lender can petition the court to abate the proceedings for sixty (60) days to allow Lender to cure the violation.  If Lender timely corrects such violation, Lender will not be liable to Borrower for such violation, except to reimburse Borrower for reasonable attorneys’ fees in the event the issue is raised by Borrower in a counterclaim.  Lender is also not liable to Borrower for a violation of the usury penalty statute if Lender gives written notice to Borrower of Lender’s usury violation before Borrower itself gives written notice of the violation or files an action alleging the violation, and provided Lender corrects such violation not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the date Lender actually discovered the violation that applies to the Note and/or any of the Indebtedness.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
18.    Ceiling Election.
To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Note and/or any other portion of the Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended.  To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate.  Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.
